Goal: Work in a Team to Research A Community

Reflect on one Ripley chapter on your own.
- Who is the subject of the chapter? What is his/her situation?
- What is the author's main point about the country/school/teachers/students? What evidence does she use?
In your small groups, discuss and capture:
- What is the chapter's main point about US schools/teachers/students? What evidence is used?
- What questions did this chapter raise for you?
Whole Group Discussion: What can we learn from Ms. Ripley's book? What questions do we have?
- Share overall reactions to each chapter
- What is the author's overall argument? What is her evidence?
- What are our key takeaways from this book?
- What questions about American schools, teachers, and students are you left with?
